You could modify the perl script that creates the dhcpd.conf file and  
add the custom commands for you. Doesn't exactly give you the  
flexability you want from the OFR, but it at least will keep you from  
having to keep everything in sync by hand.

/opt/vyatta/sbin/dhcpd-config.pl

If you dont know enough perl, let me know and I can probably help you  
out.
